​How deep my understanding of these issues is
I've been a psychologist for 6 years, including my masters training program, and during this time I have made a conscious effort in undergoing training related to these issues, and gaining experience working specifically with these kinds of issues.
​
I regularly access supervision from more senior psychologists with experience in these issues to further and deepen my understanding
I keep up-to-date with developments in evidence-based treatment for these kinds of issues, and continue to pursue professional development and further training in these treatments.
How I can help you
I will provide treatment for your issues using a CBT, DBT or Schema Therapy approach.
​
I will focus on gaining a thorough understanding of not just the current problem, but also the origins of how this problem developed and what keeps it going.
​
I have a strong focus on using a compassionate and empathetic approach, always striving to understand the function of any problem, whilst also looking for alternative perspectives and more effective behaviours that can help you lead a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

Booking with us
At The Glow Centre, all of our clinicians share a passion for helping people find their glow.
​
All work with common issues such as anxiety, depression and stress. In addition, each of our clinicians has their own areas of special interest, training and experience.
​
Each of our psychologists have different wait times, depending on their caseload and commitments. At times, some of our clinicians may not be taking new clients. Our intake team members are trained to match you with the clinician best suited for you, based on your age, availability, and the specific issues you are struggling with.
If your doctor has recommended that you see a particular clinician who is not available to take new clients, our intake team will assist in matching you with a clinician who has similar experience in the issue you are needing help with.
​
​​We see clients from Monday to Thursday (each individual clinician will consult on some or all of these days), by appointment only. Consulting times will vary per clinician, but generally from 9:00am-3:30pm. We understand that our consulting times may not align with everyone's schedule, but we recommend considering whether you can arrange for temporary adjustments to your schedule for the course of your therapy treatment. If your mental health concerns are interfering with work or study, taking time out to work on them can be beneficial in the long run.
